OR

[ :identifiedBy :Bob ] :relatedTo [ :identifiedBy :Alice ].

When you denote you indicate existence via tokenization.

Then you have to apply typing or categorization.

:relatedTo
a rdf:Property .

Then you describe further etc..

Key thing is that rdf:Property has specific meaning etc.

My earlier example just cuts all of this out without losing the core
implications .
